提供了代际收入流动性的跨国比较，并审查了儿童在劳动力市场的长期成功与其父母的成功在多大程度上相关的原因。在父母经济状况与子女成年后在劳动力市场上的成功之间的关系方面，富裕国家存在很大差异。这些协会的力量不应被解释为提供了一个目标或菜单，为政策的行为。作为公共政策的指南，审查了理解潜在因果过程以及机会平等概念的框架。
A cross-country comparison of generational earnings mobility is offered, and the reasons for the degree to which the long-run labour market success of children is related to that of their parents is examined. The rich countries differ significantly in the extent to which parental economic status is related to the labour market success of children in adulthood. The strength of these associations should not be interpreted as offering a target or menu for the conduct of policy. A framework for understanding the underlying causal process as well as the conception of equality of opportunity is reviewed as a guide for public policy.
